Is it time to have a serious talk?

If I’m being totally honest, the answer is probably yes...but I’d love to hear others opinions on this little situation.

Long story short, I’ve cared immensely about the same guy for almost 9 years. We reconnected last July after a few years of having absolutely no communication.

Since July we’ve been hanging out just about every weekend or every other weekend. Things are going really well. We hang out, go on night outs. Even did an out of state trip a while back to see his mom.

However, we haven’t talked about us. We haven’t discussed our relationship. I’ve definitely been avoiding it..and I guess he has too.

Ive been avoiding it because I keep having that “if it’s going so well why say anything that might ruin it” mindset.

I think we both may just have our guards up. But part of me wants to have this conversation. I guess I’m just terrified.
